Ellen DeGeneres ‘Find’s Political Message in Her Hit Film

As we reported, over the weekend President Trump’s White House screened Disney-Pixar’s Finding Dory for staffers and their families. Incidentally, that screening followed a controversial executive order signed by the President on Friday that disallowed travel for citizens of seven countries while also putting a freeze on the refugees immigrating to the United States.

Finding Dory is, of course, the sequel to beloved hit Finding Nemo. The film was a massive success when it opened last summer, closing its box office run with over $1 billion internationally.
